Once again, the media circus has descended upon a community already walloped by a flood, this time with their fingers crossed that they can capitalize on the chaos. Last year’s disaster left over 130 dead and now, as history repeats itself, CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the mainstream puppets want to spin this as a “climate crisis” narrative. Let’s be clear: they thrive on disaster as much as they cry about it.

Instead of focusing on the real causes and implications of repeated floods—poor infrastructure, local mismanagement, government negligence—these outlets want you to believe that it’s all about climate change. Why? Because it fits the narrative they’ve spent years hammering into our skulls. It’s easier to blame the weather than to dig into the inconvenient truths about governance and policy that get people killed.

Meanwhile, Fox News tries to navigate this disaster in a way that paints the local officials and environmental policies in a more favorable light, as if we haven’t seen disaster-level incompetence from “leadership” time and time again. They position themselves as the “common sense” network, but in doing so, they gloss over the realities of systemic failures faster than you can say “donor money.”

Both extremes are guilty: they distract us from discussing actionable solutions. They want division, not unity. Floods and devastation should lead to accountability, not finger-pointing or riding the climate wave for clicks and views. When will we hold these outlets accountable instead of becoming mesmerized by their sensationalism?
